Ingredients
- 2 cups Jowar (sorghum) flour
- 1 cup Water
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the jowar flour and salt. Mix well to ensure the salt is evenly distributed.
Step 2
Gradually add water to the flour mixture, starting with half a cup, while mixing with your hands or a spoon. Add more water as needed, a few tablespoons at a time, until the dough starts coming together.
Step 3
Knead the mixture into a soft, pliable dough. It should not be sticky, and you should be able to easily form a ball. This may take about 5 to 7 minutes.
Step 4
Divide the dough into 8 equal-sized portions and roll each portion into a smooth ball.
Step 5
Place a ball of dough between two sheets of plastic wrap or use a lightly floured surface, and gently pat it down into a disc using your fingers or a rolling pin, aiming for a uniform thickness of about 1/8 inch.
Step 6
Preheat a non-stick skillet or tava over medium heat. Once hot, carefully place the rolled out dough onto the skillet.
Step 7
Cook the roti for about 1-2 minutes on one side or until you see bubbles forming on the surface. Flip the roti using a spatula.
Step 8
Cook the other side for another 1-2 minutes, pressing gently with the spatula to ensure even cooking. The roti should be golden brown and slightly puffed.
Step 9
Remove from the skillet and keep warm in a clean kitchen towel while you repeat the process with the remaining dough balls.
Step 10
Serve warm Dairy-Free Jowar Rotis with your favorite curry or side dish.
